We are given three pie charts, presenting the way in which a country’s public opinion is distributed among four political parties and a group of undecided voters, one month before the general election, 6 months after the election, and one year after. We are, also, informed that the Conservatives won and formed a government with the Liberal Democrats.
In the first chart of predictions, we see that 41% of the voters supported the winning party, and 19% of them the Liberal Democrats. The second more favorable party, though, was the Labour with 26%. The Green Party seemed to be able to collect only 10% of the votes, while a 4% remained for the undecided.
It is important to note that the undecided cohort of the survey increased dramatically over the next six and twelve months, reaching 10% and 20% respectively. During the first 6 months after the election, only the Conservatives managed to elevate their percentage points as well, since all the rest political entries, but mostly the Liberals, lost in favourability. Twelve months after the election, the Labour Party, which was the least damaged during the previous time interval, soared to 32% along with the undecided. Both the Green Party and the Liberals accounted for the smallest portions of the chart with 5% and 8% respectively, while the Conservatives, also, lost 10 points, dropping to 35% of the voters’ favour.
